Aa the McKinley administration is
entering upon the second year of its
tenure, it is interesting to review
briefly thc record of its first VI mouths.
There eau be but little difference of
. pinion as to what has been accom
plished. A war tariff, in a time of
peace, luis been enacted with the rc
suit of a $.~iO,OU0,(M)M deficit in the
treasury. With a diminished export
trade and the stoppage of work on
public improvements thc second year
is begun. Nothin-j has been done
with thc currency system: and the ?in
potent handling td'thc Cuban ijucstion
bas been so disappointing to the best
friends of the President that they ad
mit finely thc prospect of overwhelm
ing rebuke at the polls. Activity and
dispatch have been seen in one direc
tion only, l'or a year thc lime of tho
administration has. bien engrossed
with applicants for office. Those
have bad the ri sh I nf-way over all
Other business.
mr. % m.
The great powers ol' Euro ps. actu
ated chiefly by commercial ideas, are
?till dividing among themselves the
territories of non-progressive and non
Christian potentates. Commercial
privileges are the modern incentive to
empire, not land hunger, or glory, as
in former agc Africa, at the door of
Europe, has already been pretty com
pletely appropriated. There remain
for division Turkey. Persia. Siam.
China and Corea. As to what is left
of Turkey the division proceeds but
>low!y. owing t" the inability of tho
powers to agree upon their respective
-hares. Siam has recently lost large
ly to France, ('orea is in dispute be
tween Kussia and Japan. China is in
the process of distribution, .lapan.
Ilussia, France and England have all
recently had ''whacks ' at its vast
area, and Cor m a ny is now seeking, it
seems, to get even with its rivals.
?hina is the coming Africa. Its dis
tri bu ti on a thong the powers is to be
the next great problem of European
politics.

authorities that Spanish pride will
prevent the acceptance id pecuniary

From all sides whence intelligent
. 1. : . I. I .:.] , Un ......
HU* leen nave noe M ... ii.c one
story is that Spain will not go volun
tarily. Hence thc preparation for
war.
The action of Congress in passing
the S/?ti.iHMi.tiuu bill was in respense to
the President's rocnest. Ile formally
asked for a large money credit at the
meeting "1 the chairman at the White
House.
The probability is that Congress
will recognize Cuban independence.
The President, 1 am informed, desires
this rather than mere belligerency.
Th.- recognition of independence would
not bc a casus belli unless Spain, fore
seeing the inevitable, .should provoke
a con tl ic t. The national preparations
are in view of that contingency. That
the recognition of the Cubans by Con
gress will ultimately provoke war the
President fears rather than antici
pates.
The evils that will attend the loca
tion ol' uuacclimated sailor- and sol
diers near Cuba during the rainy
season arc fresh in the President's
thoughts, and add to his hope that
Spain will not brim: matter.? to a eon
lliet.
Mark lianna has all along acted as
a break on anything that suggested
interference in Cuban allans. The
i i-i 11

which he maur have .-too.J in thc way.
Ile i- always a party manager rather
than a statesman. Hut Hanna and
others ol' his kind realize that they
niust oppose an overwhelming public
sentiment. Thc fall elections are be
ing considered by, lianna. From all
sections of the central States and thc
West a single refrain has sounded in
the ears of the administration, lt is
that thc disorder and the human suf
fering in Cuba must end. lt is on
account of it that lianna now whis
per." : "Cougrcss will do something
or other.
Ile so informed the hankers and
corporation magnates of Wall street
when he recently visited them. Ile
meant to let down the bars gradually.
